AU in Logic doesn't work for some people

@d-healey what does this mean? I've only exported it via HISE

It means you're about to go on a journey into the world of being an Apple developer.

There's a really good guide on the KVR forum and lots of posts on this forum too: https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=531663

@d-healey I already have a developer account and my Team ID but I don't understand all of that. I only need my .component file and the terminal with the team name and the team ID?

It's more complicated than that, follow the KVR guide, it's the best instructions I'm aware of.

Hi there, for most people the AU versions of my plugins work in Logic Pro and for a few they don't. They show up in the Plugin Manager but not in the plugin list where they can be selected and opened. What could be the reason for this?

..also make sure all your plugins have unique plugin IDs....

[treynterrio]

@Lindon they have different IDs. the weird thing is that it works for the most people in logic and for a. couple people not

then it is most likely not codesigning and notarizing as David says...

[d.healey]

@treynterrio are they all using macos versions big sur or later? Are they all using the same version of Logic?

[treynterrio]

@d-healey this notary stuff doesn't work I get the same error every time "source=no usable signature" and I did everything like in the KVR Guide. When I use the staple line I get this :

CloudKit query for test.component (2/fac3a399a13139d8866323a483f055285da4a1b8) failed due to "Record not found".
Could not find base64 encoded ticket in response for 2/fac3a399a13139d8866323a483f055285da4a1b8
The staple and validate action failed! Error 65.

@treynterrio so do you have your certificates in your keyStore?

does the codesign work?

does the notarization work i.e. it returns "Accepted"?

[treynterrio]

@Lindon I stored them but at the end I get the information that the certificate couldn't be found. The prossecing says complete but when I use the staple line it gives me an error

[Lindon]

@treynterrio do you have your certificates set up correctly in your KeyStore?

[treynterrio]

@Lindon I hope so

[d.healey]

@treynterrio open the key chain manager and take a look

[treynterrio]

@d-healey

Step. 1 : I've created a Certificate at the Apple Developer page. TYPE Development, Platform ALL.
Step. 2 : I double clicked the downloaded file and opened it in the KeyStore.
Step. 3 : I had to click on the Certificate to trust the file
Step. 4 : the I pasted this line in the terminal :

xcrun notarytool store-credentials --apple-id "shsfksfsfk@gmail.com" --team-id "ABCDEFGHIJK" --password "fhsf-sfsf-sfsf-sfsf" --keychain-profile "test"

Step. 5 :

xcrun notarytool submit /Users/me/Desktop/test.pkg --keychain-profile "test" --wait 

Then I get this:

Conducting pre-submission checks for test.pkg and initiating connection to the Apple notary service...

• this.

[ustk]

@treynterrio Don't you need the ids and password when submitting?

Step 4 is for, well, storing the credentials
Step 5 needs them too

xcrun notarytool submit --apple-id "email@gmail.com" --password "pass-pass-pass-pass" --team-id "TEAMID" /path/to/file.pkg --wait

[d.healey]

@treynterrio you need to code sign before notarizing

[Lindon]

@treynterrio so: -

• build your plugin and move it to the desktop
• codesign it:

codesign -s 'Developer ID Application: YourName (XYZ123456789)' "/path/to/YourPlugin.vst3" --timestamp --force

• zip this codesigned plugin on the desktop

• notarize this zip:

xcrun notarytool submit --apple-id "email@gmail.com" --password "pass-pass-pass-pass" --team-id "TEAMID" /path/to/file.zip --wait

• when the notarize tells you Accepted; staple the original plugin on your desktop(not the zip)

• zip up this stapled plugin and ship.

it works until this part and then it says
